For the filling: just mix all the ingredients together, and smear on the rolled out dough after it has risen.

For the streussal: mix the ingredients together. Keep a careful watch on it to make sure you dont keep in the mixer for too long, otherwise it will not be crumby anymore. Sprinkle the streussal on top right before you put the dough in the oven
